Shubman Gill reaches 1,000 runs in India’s ODI career in 954 balls, a milestone reported to be faster than MS Dhoni. The achievement comes during Gill’s innings of 154 against Afghanistan, which forms part of a match where he plays alongside Ishan Kishan. The two batter together for a 224-run partnership, according to reports. Gill’s century is his ninth in ODI cricket and is described across outlets as a high-tempo innings. By moving past Dhoni’s mark, Gill enters an “elite” group of quickest to 1,000 ODI runs for India. All accounts agree on the key figures: Gill scores 154 against Afghanistan, reaches 1,000 ODI runs in 954 deliveries, and records a 224-run stand with Kishan. The reports frame the innings as aggressive and pivotal to India’s batting, but they do not add differing context beyond the shared statistics and match details.
